SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner's
Manual.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your oven unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
Before performing any service, disconnect
the oven power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
Do not leave children alone—children
should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the door. They could damage the
oven, or cause severe personal injury.
Be sure the oven is securely installed in a
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house
structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit,
stand or hang on the oven door.
Never leave the oven door open when you
are not watching the oven.
Always keep combustible wall covering,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your oven.
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
from your oven.
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your oven.
Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the oven.
Do not store flammable materials in
an oven.
CAUTION: Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above an
oven; children climbing on the oven to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items stored in
cabinets over the oven. Flammable
material could be ignited if brought in
contact with hot surfaces or heating
elements and may cause severe burns.
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the oven.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
